Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday celebrated Raksha Bandhan and the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign with children at his official residence to usher in the 75th anniversary of India's Independence.
It was “special” occasion since the young girls were the daughters of sweepers, peons, gardeners, drivers, and other helpers who work at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The little girls tied "rakhis" on his wrist.
Later, the PM gave a tricolour to each of the girls and waved the flag along with them. Slogans of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' were also raised by the children. The Prime Minister was also seen interacting with the children and discussing how the country was celebrating the 75th anniversary of Independence this year. He discussed the colours of the national flag and urged all the children to put up the Tiranga at their residence on August 15.
